I grew up in New Mexico, and recently moved out here with my younger brother. I'm a colossal nerd, and proud of it. I follow the competitive world of StarCraft 2 and League of Legends quite a bit, and I participate in eSports (competitive gaming in general) as much as I'm able, though that doesn't usually mean playing video games. I work with an eSports organization help running tournaments on my down time when I'm not working the job that pays my bills.

I love movies and TV. I don't really have a favorite genre, I'm usually attracted to movies/shows by the cast or crew rather than the story (though a good story is obviously important).

I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi. I've loved to read since I was old enough to do so. I love Harry Potter but I hate Twilight. I like the Lord of the Rings, but I don't think it's the be-all-end-all of fantasy stories.

I drink a lot of Pepsi, I have no real sense of fashion and don't care (unless I'm dressing formally, which happens rarely), I stay up way too late for my own good. In New Mexico, I raised miniature goats with my family, as well as some other farm animals. I love to write, usually short fiction. I'm not a cat or dog person, I like them both, but it depends entirely on the individual animal.

What I’m doing with my life

Working at a local resort at the front desk. Every Saturday I shoutcast an online League of Legends tournament. The plan is for that to become a full time job in the future.
